Odes Horace Horace. The Odes and Carmen Saeculare of Horace. Conington, John, translator. London: George Bell and Sons, 1882. Versed, or with whip and rein, should need require,No laggard. Merion too your eyes shall knowFrom far. Tydides, fiercer than his sire,Pursues you, all aglow;Him, as the stag forgets to graze for fright,Seeing the wolf at distance in the glade,And flies, high panting, you shall fly, despiteBoasts to your leman made.
